Previously, explaining what the author of the tweet did months ago:
https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/intel-kaby-lake-skylake-pcs-hackable-usb-jtag/amp/ https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/intel-kaby-lake-skyl...
"As shown in the presentation by security researchers Maxim Goryachy and Mark Ermolov, one way of accessing the JTAG debugging interface" "is to use a" "hardware implant" "running Godsurge" "which can exploit the JTAG debugging interface. Originally used by the National Security Agency -- and exposed by Edward Snowden -- Godsurge is malware engineered to hook into a PC’s boot loader to monitor activity. It was originally meant to live on the motherboard and remain completely undetectable outside a forensic investigation."
Emphasis mine.
But this all was in January:
"The claim was made during a presentation" "which showed how hackers could use a cheap device to gain access to a debugging interface embedded in hardware."
What's the news now compared to then?
- hnuser2357982 9y agoThat we have one more person capable of exploiting this in the wild.
- tedunangst 9y agoWho?
- hnuser2357982 9y agoThe guy who made the tweet...
- acqq 9y agoNo, he's the same guy who made the news in January, Maxim Goryachy.
